Picture this: You're a woman, doing all the things, taking on all of the responsibilities, spinning all the plates, and letting one drop and feeling like a failure. If you can relate to any of this scenario, then this podcast is for you! In this podcast we are tackling the expectation that we can do it all, all the time. We are friends, mothers, professionals, and leaders. We strive to be successful in all of these areas but the pressures to be exceptional all the time is a hard balance to strike. So we will navigate these rockey waters together, every week. We'll tackle tough topics like authenticity, mental health, financial freedom (or not), leadership, and independence (even toxic independence!). We look forward to taking this journey with you through self-love, relationships, career and community. We aren't perfect, and we don't pretend to be. In fact, we're happy to talk about what we get right, but we think its more important to talk about what we got wrong. || About the hosts: Katie is a 40-year-old, OCD, book club dropout who believes there is never a bad time for bubbly! She is a mother of two young children while building a small business of her own. Amanda is a travel junkie always up for an adventure and is fueled by tacos and margaritas. She is a 40-year-old single mom of two tween boys and takes her marketing career very seriously.
